90- ce- nt gasoline likely within two years
From our wire services
WASHINGTON Americans probably will be
paying an average of at least 90 cents a gallon
for gasoline by the end of 1980, under a new
ruling announced Friday by the Deparment of
Energy.
The new regulations will permit prices at the
pump to go up an average of 5 cents a gallon this '
year and another 5 cents a gallon next year.
Those increases would come atop the 9 cents a
gallon that the Department of Energy has
calculated will be added by inflation and the
price increases for crude oil set by the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries
last December.
The average price across the nation today is
about 70 cents.
Although the new ruling is effective im-mediately,
Energy Department officials were
unable to specify how soon the prices would be
raised because it depends on individual com-pany
decisions.
The Energy Department's new ruling was
what is known in the oil industry as a " gasoline
tilt," since it permits refining companies to
assign more of their costs to gasoline and less to
other products. The ruling, in turn, permits the
companies to pass along those higher costs in
higher prices to consumers.
David Bardin. head of the department's
Economic Regulatory Administration, said the
previous regulations penalized refiners' efforts
to produce unleaded gasoline. in the amounts
required to meet national environmental laws
and public needs.
Bardin's agency also will issue a rule soon
intended to prevent the price difference between
leaded and unleaded gasoline, currently about 5
cents a gallon, from widening. Many en-vironmentalists
fear that a wider spread will
lead drivers of cars fitted with anti- polluti- on
devices to switch from unleaded to leaded
gasoline and thus to ruin those devices.
In the meantime, Ashland Oil Co. has become
the first U. S. firm to resume purchases of oil
from Iran. Ashland, the nation's largest in-dependent
oil company, said it had negotiated a
long- ter- m contract with the National Iranian Oil
Co. and was paying " somewhat higher" prices
than the official world price of $ 13.34 a barrel.
Washington sources said Ashland, which is
based in Ashland, Ky.. apparently was paving
about $ 18 to $ 20 a barrel, the rate the new
Iranian government has said it would demand
when production resumes in the Persian oil
Fields.
In Paris, the United States and 19 other non- Commun- ist
members of the International
Energy Agency agreed to cut oil consumption by
5 percent this year to offset shortages created by
the halt in Iranian oil production.
Meanwhile, controversy erupted over whether
a serious oil shortage exists.
A new Library of Congress study contends
that the oil shortage caused by the halt in im-ports
of Iranian oil is much smaller than that
depicted by the Department of Energy and
many oil companies.
Rep. Albert Gore Jr., D- Te- nn who asked the
Library of Congress to make the study, said the
appearance of a world shortage had enabled
speculators to drive up oil prices.

City zoning
may receive
a new look
Officials support
updated structure
ByAcdyMaykatii
Misscurian staff writer
Columbia's zoning ordinance, its
chief tool for controlling urban growth,
may be outdated, some city officials
say.
City Planning Director Michael
Bathke says the city's current type of
soiling is a product of the 1920s. More
modern styles of zoning allow
municipalities more predictability and
control over new construction, he says.
Columbia's new city manager, Stuart
Campbell, agrees. He came to
Columbia in February from Plantation,
Fla., where a " more contemporary"
zoning ordinance is used.
The next City Council may face the
question of whether Columbia should
shed its old zoning law for a more
modern structure. An option, which
Campbell favors, is increased use of an
existing zoning category that forces the
government and the developer to plan
projects together.
Columbia's cumulative, or
" pyramid," zoning ordinance permits
an increasing number of property uses
as the zoning becomes less restrictive. .
The most restrictive use, the
residential zone, is. at the top of the
pyramid. The least restrictive
commercial and industrial are at the
bottom.
As property is zoned farther down the
pyramid, it accumulates the uses of the
more restrictive zones. For example,
only houses and apartments can be
built on property zoned residential. But
residential and commercial structures
can be built on commercially zoned
property.
When commercial and residential
areas are intermingled, friction occurs,
Campbell says. Without proper
" transitional" zones between com-mercial
and residential property, a
neighborhood can deteriorate.
Two recent cases have brought into
focus the flaws in Columbia's zoning

After Begin, Carter sessions
No progress on Mideast peace
By Bernard Gwertznian
New York Times
WASHINGTON President Carter and Prime
Minister Menachem Begin of Israel met for 22 hours
Friday, but apparently failed to make any progress
toward resolving the issues holding up completion of
an Egyptian- Israe- li peace treaty.
Both American and Israeli officials said the at-mosphere
between the two leaders and their chief
advisers remained friendly. But officials on both sides
agreed that unless there was a major shift by either
the Israelis or the Americans in the next two days, the
peace effort may collapse.
In the morning session, Begin spoke forcefully about
Israel's desire to complete the Egyptian- Israe- li peace
treaty and to commence implementation of the
Palestinian self- ru- le agreemeiit, both of which were
agreed to at Camp David last September.
The Israeli leader, however, again rejected the
Egyptian proposals, endorsed by the United States,
which he insisted go beyond the accords reached at
Camp David, and threaten to undermine them.
Carter stressed the instability in the Middle East,
caused by the rise of radical forces and the collapse of
the regime of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in Iran.
He urged Begin to make it politically easier for
President Anwar el- Sad- at of Egypt, the major pro- Weste- rn
Arab leader, and to accept the compromise
ideas offered by the United States on the few, but
persistent problems that remain.
The inability of Begin and Carter to make any
progress came as no surprise. Begin, in his arrival
statement Thursday, strongly attacked the suggested
compromises as making the peace treaty " a sham
document."
Although in their appearances before newsmen
Thursday night and Friday Carter and Begin seemed
friendly and smiling, the mood of subordinates
" jvas
tense.
The issues in question include :
Sadat wants the Israelis to give assurances that
the Camp David accord dealing with Palestinian self- ru- le
will be put into effect soon after the treaty is
ratified. The United States, aware of Israel's refusal to
be pinned down to a fixed timetable, has proposed a
good faith effort to hold Palestinian elections by a
target date one year after the peace treaty is ratified.
Begin Friday sharply attacked this plan as one that
would give Egypt an excuse to wreck the treaty.
- The Egyptians want Israel to agree to an in-terpretive
note that states that the draft peace treaty
would mean that the peace treaty is only one part of a
comprehensive Middle East settlement The United
States accepts that view, but Begin said Friday that
such an agreement would give Egypt an excuse to
declare the treaty null and void if no further accords
were achieved.
Section Five of Article VI suggests that this peace
treaty will have precedence over prior Egyptian
accords. To avoid being accused of breaking with the
Arab cause, the Egyptians want an interpretation that
this section does not bar them from coming to the aid
of Arab states attacked by Israel. The Americans
believe this to be a fair request. Begin said that this
would permit the Egyptians to say that any conflict
even one started by Arabs was begun by Israel and
therefore go to war against Israel.
The Camp David accords call for normalization
of diplomatic relations, after an initial Israeli troop
withdrawal from the Sinai nine months after the
treaty is ratified. Begin said Friday that this must
include an exchange of ambassadors, but the Egyp-tians
want to begin relations at a lower level .
As many as 8 policemen

As many as eight Columbia police
officers have been questioned as
suspects in an investigation of alleged
marijuana smoking at the depart-,-.'

police said Friday.

Carl Antimi and'Capt. Harold Toalson

complaint in which certain officers
were named as participants in the
alleged smoke- in- .
Antimi said 10 to 15 policemen have

but not all are suspects.
Police Chief David Walsh said Friday
he had no comment regarding contents
i of the investigation reports but that he

y J course of action, ifany" he might take.
One investigator said the complaint
' was prompted by a series of recent

say if the complaint had been filed by
one of those arrested.
" In the interest of a fair in-vestigation,"
Antimi said he would
prefer not to go into detail about the
investigation or the source of the
complaint until the investigation is
completed.
But he did say that the investigation
" unfortunately has led us into
questioning people in the narcotics
division."
Antimi said not all of the narcotics
officers are suspects, but that almost
every member of that division had been
questioned about drug use among of-ficers
in general.
He did confirm, however, that CpL.

were two officers questioned as
suspects in the investigation. Ward is
president of the Columbia Police Of-ficer's
Association, and Duncan is a
patrol shift supervisor.
Ward said Friday that he is a suspect

Shopping
area lures

By Ed Dorian
Missourian staff writer
Two outside development cor-porations
and a couple of Columbia
brothers are vying for leases, sites and
retailers in hopes of developing a new
shopping center in the city.
General Growth Properties of Des
Moines. Iowa, and Kansas City- base- d
Gottlieb Corp. are the developers
" actively seeking leases and looking at
sites" in the Columbia market, a
consultant hired by the city said
Friday.
Senior associate Ted Strader. of the
consulting firm Zuchelli Hunter &
Associates of Annapolis. Md.. said that
both companies have contacted his firm
to discuss development possibilities in
the city. Strader said, however, that hia
firm hired by the city to evaluate
development of Flat Branch has
heard nothing from Columbians Daniel
and Dalton Patterson.
Dan Patterson. 25. of 9 E. Burnam
Rd.. says that he and his brother
Dalton, 31. are acting in partnership
with a development company " much
larger" than the other two developers,
and in direct competition with General
Growth for leases and retailers in the
Columbia market.
While all three parties have con-sidered
the Flat Branch property,
which was the subject of a presentation
for city officials by the consultants
Thursday night, other sites in the city
also are being studied.
Such sites may become more
significant in light of the consulting
group's recommendation that alter-natives,
such as a mixed- us- e village
center, rather than a shopping center.
may be the best propect for Flat
Branch development.
" We're interested in the whole
market." said Neil Broderick. General
Growth vice president " We've looked
at several pieces of property along U. S.
